Nebraska

Nebraskai/nəˈbræskə/ is a state that lies in both the Great Plains and the Midwestern United States. Its state capital is Lincoln. Its largest city is Omaha, which is on the Missouri River. The state is crossed by many historic trails and was explored by the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The California Gold Rush brought the first large numbers of non-indigenous settlers to the area. Nebraska was admitted as the 37th state of the United States in 1867. The climate has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures, and violent thunderstorms and tornadoes are common. The state is characterized by treeless prairie, which is ideal for cattle-grazing. It is a major producer of beef, as well as pork, corn, and soybeans. The largest ancestry group claimed by Nebraskans is German American. The state also has the largest per capita population of Czech Americans among U.S. states.

Etymology

Nebraska's name is derived from transliteration of the archaic Otoe words Ñí Brásge, pronounced [ɲĩbɾasꜜkɛ] (contemporary Otoe Ñí Bráhge), or the OmahaNí Btháska, pronounced [nĩbɫᶞasꜜka], meaning "flat water", after the Platte River that flows through the state.

Museum of Nebraska Art

The Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) is the official art museum of the state of Nebraska. The museum is located in Kearney, Nebraska, and is administratively affiliated with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. The official charter of MONA makes it home to the Nebraska Art Collection, which is home to works by artists who were born in Nebraska, have lived in Nebraska, or have some connection to Nebraska. MONA also hosts regular rotating exhibitions by living or historic artists who have some connection with the state of Nebraska.

History

The Nebraska Art Collection was first created in 1976 but initially lacked a permanent home. In 1985 a state-appointed commission settled on a historic post office building in Kearney which was built in 1911 but was badly outmoded and slated for demolition. The Neoclassical architecture, marble interiors, and spacious, well-lit rooms attracted the attention of museum officials, who purchased the disused building and refitted it. In 1986 MONA opened there in its new permanent location.

Artist

An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts, and/or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism.

Gerard Pefung (https://www.facebook.com/ArtistGerardPefung) came to the U.S. from his native Cameroon, West Africa as a teenager in 2001.

Abstract Artist Nebraska

What is abstract art? It is the use of shapes, colors, forms and lines to represent something that is not a real object, or at least as we know it. The idea of abstract art began in 1911 with the belief that colors provoke emotions. It was considered somewhat radical at the time, but it allowed passionate artists to communicate through this medium in a way they couldn’t with traditional art.
See all of our PatsySmith Art Videos here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeAeBTd94XtG_9EX49lIBQdCG4ZLxxDNM
There have been many great abstract artists since this time, but Wassily Kandinksky was considered the original pioneer. Other names such as Jackson Pollack, Franz Kline, and Helen Frankenthaler also come to mind. These individuals and many more influenced our modern day abstract art...

In conjunction with the exhibition “Under Pressure: ContemporaryPrints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his FamilyFoundation,” Chinese artistHung Liu will lead an artist’s talk at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art on Saturday, March 7, at 2 p.m.
Liu, Professor Emerita at Mills College in California, is known for paintings based on historical Chinese photographs. Her subjects over the years have been prostitutes, refugees, street performers, soldiers, laborers, and prisoners, among others. Washing her subjects in veils of dripping linseed oil that, she once remarked, “both preserve and destroy the image,” Liu has invented a kind of weeping realism that embodies ideas like the erosion of memory and the passage of time, while also bringing faded photographic images vividly to life as rich, facile paintings. She summons the ghosts of history into the present.
Liu was born in Changchun, China, in 1948 and grew up in Beijing during the Cultural Revolution. Following her high school graduation in 1968, Liu was sent to labor in the countryside for four years as part of Mao Zedong’s plan to “re-educate” members of the intellectual class. During this time, she photographed and drew portraits of the peasant farmers and their families. In 1972, she entered the RevolutionaryEntertainmentDepartment of Beijing’s Teachers College to study art and education, where she graduated in 1975. Liu taught at the Jing ShanSchool and hosted a weekly televised art lesson, “How to Draw and Paint.”
1n 1981, she was accepted into the graduate program in visual arts at University of California at San Diego but had to wait for years for the Chinese government to issue her passport; she received her MFA in 1986. In 1991, she returned to China and discovered a treasure-trove of turn-of-the-century photos of Chinese prostitutes, which became source material for her paintings.
Liu’s background inspires her work, and her paintings are steeped in contemporary and ancient Chinese culture. She blends images from 7th CenturyTang tomb mural paintings of princes and princesses with Western imagery, such as St. Christopher carrying a baby across the river. These images are surrounded by abstract patterns -- her signature circles of color. Liu’s life experiences inform her work as well as her interests in history, gender, identity, and Chinese politics and culture.
“Under Pressure: Contemporary Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation” features work by forty artists spanning the last five decades. The exhibition is on view at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art until March 29, 2015.
“Under Pressure” considers major currents in contemporary art, among them Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Photorealism, and Pop Art. It explores innovations specific to printmaking, including recent advancements in technology that have reinvigorated the print’s role in art production. The works on view address diverse themes, from feminism and civil rights to the use of art as social critique.
The selection of work in “Under Pressure” comes from the extensive holdings of collector and University of Oregon alumnus Jordan Schnitzer and was organized by the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. Support for the exhibition and related educational and outreach programs has been made possible by a grant from the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, the Coeta and Donald BarkerChanging Exhibitions Endowment, The Harold and Arlene SchnitzerCARE Foundation, the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and JSMA members.
